History+
The origins of Langheim Monastery date back a long way, with the eastern pavilion forming an integral part of the later monastic complex. The history of the monastery is closely linked to the Upper Franconia region and reflects religious and cultural developments over centuries. After its foundation by the Cistercian order in the 12th century, Langheim experienced a checkered history, marked by periods of prosperity and challenges. The secularization at the beginning of the 19th century led to the dissolution of the monastery and the repurposing or demolition of many of its buildings. The eastern pavilion is a preserved fragment of this once imposing complex.

The former Langheim Monastery is located in the town of Lichtenfels in the Bavarian administrative district of Upper Franconia. The region is known for its picturesque landscape and historical sites.
